    I'd perk up if this story was about the hacking and release of confidential documents on Bear Stearns or Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan or the World Bank or the Federal Reserve. Hackers suffer from Occupy syndrome, i.e., chronic bad target acquisition.

    you can defend the perimeter - and should. Assuming it will never be breached is the mistake (as a number of ant and bee colonies have discovered to their peril). Strong perimeter and strong internal protection. The point is that a new threat might be temporarily slowed by perimeter controls while the internal network is updated/reconfigured.

      Agreed:

      1) Defend your perimeter as far as reasonably.

      2) Assume the enemy is already inside said perimeter...

      3) Segment internal machines and protect them from what (2) suggests.

      4) Don't forget printers and other systems that never get security updates...
